Kinesis 996 is infamous around these parts

The 986S might not be a match for the Cayman S, but try the 987S as a match for the Cayman S - all those I've talked to who have driven both say there is little difference on the track - not enough to pay the additional amount anyway, unless you like the coupe roof, but that the stiffness and lack of flex IS apparent.

Damn that suck bad!! Every apex I exit the Cayman just pull a little more and then eventually I can't chase it. I hope with the upgrade headers, by pass, exhaust and intake will somewhat improve it and able to keep up with the Cayman S. I found that the exhaust is a little tooooo quiet for my liking so if the exhaust is a little louder I think the ride will be much more enjoyable.
